Package: vbackup
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: important
The mbr script misses on / characters in device paths (like, when the device
is /dev/cciss/c0d0 in an HP array). It inserts the part after /dev/
verbatim into its temp filenames.
A fix in the next stretch point release would be most welcome.
Find attached a patch with a simple fix.
